Skim ReviewGreat! - Version: 1.1.4, 5/28/2008 02:14AM PST

It is a great complement to FormulatePro which I have been using in order to complete PDF forms in an editable way. It is much more powerful and allows you not only to add notes but as well to edit minor things and really make the PDF of someone else yours, which is cool for presentations made by someone else.

Skim bombs when going to: preferences/notes
so as to adjust the settings. The dialog box overdraws two separate screens and locks up. This is under 10.4.11

Skim CommentaryCan you add an image with Skim? - Version: 1.1.2, 4/3/2008 12:29PM PST

Can one add an image into a PDF using Skim? This would be handy for when I need to add a scanned jpg of my signature.

I've been playing with Skim for a few days, but haven't seen any way to paste in any kind of image.
